Screening results of tumor markers CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA in 45~60-year-old health examination population in Chengdu / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the screening results of tumor markers carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA-724), carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA-153), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA-199) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the 45 ~ 60-year-old health examination population in Chengdu area. Methods A total of 2 268 healthy people aged 45 ~ 60 years old living in Chengdu area from May 2019 to August 2020 were selected. Levels of serum tumor markers CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA were detected by electrochemiluminescence. Positive rates of different tumor markers and confirmed diagnosis of malignant tumors were statistically analyzed. People with positive and negative tumor markers were respectively included in the positive group and the negative group, and their serum tumor markers were compared. The screening results of tumor markers in the health examination population of different gender and age, and the diagnostic efficiency of each tumor marker for malignant tumors were analyzed. Results Among the 2 268 healthy people, the positive rates of CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA were 10.05%, 4.98%, 1.10%, 7.01% and 4.76%, respectively. A total of 72 cases were positive for tumor marker detection, with a total positive rate of 3.17% (72/2,268). Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as early or mid-term tumors by pathology, imaging and other examinations, with a total tumor detection rate of 0.53% (12/2,268), including 8 cases of malignant tumors, with a detection rate of 0.35% (8/2,268). The levels of CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA in the tumor markers positive group were higher than those in the negative group (P<0.05). The CA-125 and CA-199 positive rates in males were lower than those in females, while CEA positive rate was higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Positive rates of CA-153, CA-199 and CEA in different age groups showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Positive expression of CA-153 and CA-199 mainly occurred in the 51~60 years old group, and positive expression of CEA mainly occurred in the 45~50 years old group. ROC curve analysis showed that combined detection of CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA had the highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in predicting malignant tumors, and the area under the curve was the largest (0.865). Conclusion Tumor markers CA-724, CA-153, CA-125, CA-199 and CEA are highly expressed in the 45 ~ 60-year-old health examination population in Chengdu area, and positive rate of CA-724 is the highest. Levels of tumor markers in people of different gender and age are also different. Joint detection of various tumor markers is conducive to early detection and treatment of the disease, and reduction of deterioration risk.
